I've found a deep and real love for sewing and quilting! The only thing that I enjoy more is connecting with all of you about it!
I have become totally obsessed with our baby tortoises- so ridiculously cute!
I am a mom of 2 boys and wife to a great guy!
With my full time job, family and my love of crafting, I am pretty busy most of the time! Add Rheumatoid Arthritis, unfortunately, and you have Me! I try not to let it get me down, though I Do walk much like our tortoises, at times! haha

InterActive ScrapChat- How it works!

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Hey Everyone!I hope you are all having a good week!I am a bit behind, lately, sorry!I am preparing to go on my first big vacation. It turns out that finding all of the things that you have to pack for such an adventure, is taking up a lot of my sewing time!I was able to start cutting blocks for a small swap I am having with a few awesome quilty friends, so that is something, at least! Fyi; in a few months, I would like to do a larger block swap and will be putting a call out to anyone else who wants to participate. Don't miss it, if your interested in joining us! =DI want to thank Crazy Mom Quilts for allowing us to borrow her tutorial on these adorable blocks!What do you think of my block colors??

It was brought to my attention that my blocks are too color coordinated, lol!I can't help it, I don't have much of a "scrap stash" yet, so I had to buy FQ's for our swap.. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't "match" mismatchy prints..lolIn light of that, I am attempting to put some of the oranges with the blues, but that doesn't work so well for the pink. I don't think I can force the pink and orange together, what do you think, is pink and orange too crazy of a combo for scrappy blocks?I am going to do my best to get a good number of them done before I leave.I have already gotten almost everything packed. lol.. You could say I am a little excited. lolHave you started anything, recently?Why not share it on my Linky!?We love to check out what everyone is up to and encourage your progress!

She has already responded and I will get her Grunge out to her,asap!! Congratulations again, Vicki!Thank you so much everyone, for visiting my stop on the hop!I hope you all enjoied the blog hop as much as we did!Take good care and God Bless!

This picture was from the day after surgery. I was doing whatever I could to make him smile and you knowwhat..farting noises have never failed me and they didn't that day either!Love that smileAs I am sure you can imagine, I began packing his hospital bag about a month beforehand. Lest I forget something very important, like his favorite bear or blanky! He would have loved it if I could have brought all of his animal friends! I kid you not, upon request, I use to bury this kid at bedtime in all of his animals. That is how he loved to sleep.. The little silly.. =D

Honestly, I wouldn't have any pictures with my kids if I had to like My Own...lol

The boys were posing in new school clothes and we took a fun group shot. ;)

He's still my baby boy!

As you can see from the recent photos, he is just a regular boy - full of energy and silliness! He also happens to be very proud of his scar and if he likes you, he'll show you ;)

All About Me!
